If you reach an unusually large amount of data roaming usage, we will suspend the service for that month unless you give us permission to continue it. You can do this once each month. Your data roaming service will resume the following month.

Can I use my free price plan minutes when I roam?

RED Roaming is the only roaming plan that allows you to use your home minutes and texts, international add ons and 100MB of data each day that you roam. You cannot use your home allowances with any other roaming plan.

How we bill for roaming

In order for us to bill for roaming directly after you return home, we rely on foreign operators to send us details of calls made on their network.

From time to time there can be delays in receiving these details which may result in roaming charges being delayed til your next bill.
